Ha! I never got involved in any of these, so I never had to dispute it and wait for my money to come back. I hope no one here falls for this again.

Yes, if everyone will resist the temptation to hope for the fairy tale too magically come true then these rats will starve and go away, but if people gamble with ebay's buyer protection it just feeds the problem.

The guy has 5 items listed for sale --all of the fraudulent--all of his listing should be reported.

Focusable 3500mW 450nm laser module with driver for engraving $10.98 and 700mW 405nm diode $5.99 :crackup:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/7je1t4o/m.html?item=263225982206&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Agreed... but I can't do it all on my own....:crackup:

Actually you are not gambling on the protection...
It is there... You are just gambling on the actual
length of time it takes to get your $$ back.:beer:

I feel bad fot the buyers that have no clue as to
the product or how to file a claim...

Is too bad ebay has always been and still is such a garbage pit --tons of fenced items freshly stolen--lots of scams, lots of relisted closed auctions by people with nothing to sell etc.

Is the same ebay as in prior times---despite the recently instituted ebay protection as a means to make ebay look better --is stil mostly a lowest price garage sale type web auction

Very few manufacturers, although more than in prior times, will allow new product to be sold on ebay because all it does in cheapen the product and make Dealers have lower profit and less reason to stock much of anything or be Dealers.

I sell on eBay at higher prices than my website
to cover the eBay costs to sellers. I also state
that potential buys can browse our website for
more products.
When buyers see the prices are lower on our
website... they buy the product there.

Our customers are still protected through the
PayPal buyer's protection.

Great idea = just use ebay to promote---still ebay has a bad reputation for the most part--better than before but not good overall.

If you buy from a bogus listing which is just a relisted old listing by a scamer and get burned--all ebay does is say not responsible contact authorities because in the ebay registration the seller agrees not to do that.===use to be that way--ebay telling people want do you want from us ?? You take your chances--meanwhile the scammer took the money closed any account and ran. Happened to a lot of people.

I did not mean to say that people would be gambling on the buyer protection being there, but that people are taking a gamble with the buyer protection funds.

Buyer protection is there but it's not really free because the more it cost to do business the more the service will cost us all.

Our dual 450nm seller put up another pair
of diodes.
The guy is so Pi$$ed with his Neg Feedback
that he posted a Rant in the item Description.

You have to read this moron's mentally unstable
description of the events.

Two High Power M140 Laser Diode 2W Blue 450nm 5.6mm. Feedback Score Drama Inside | eBay

I just reported it again as fraudulent Listing
and will be contacting eBay to complain about
the listing using my eBay User Name.

Yes report him again and again--the guy is nuts--probably given his past he probably pulled the diodes from a stolen projector too

I saw that too--what a hoot.
